<div>Our family is devastated to share that Selastina was taken from us suddenly and horrifically after a tragic car accident. On November 30th, Selastina and her husband, Santiago, were driving home when their vehicle was struck by a car traveling at an extreme rate of speed. The other driver was under the influence. The impact was catastrophic, and both Selastina and Santiago were ejected from their vehicle.
</div>
<div>Santiago survived but sustained serious injuries. He has an upcoming surgery and faces a long and uncertain road to recovery. Selastina never regained consciousness. She remained in the hospital while on life support, surrounded by family, before passing away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the midst of this tragedy, Selastina was able to save and improve the lives of others. Through organ, tissue, and bone donation, she miraculously helped 77 people, a final act of generosity that reflects the heart she carried her whole life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The driver responsible has been arrested and is facing multiple charges including vehicular homicide. Our family will be attending court dates as they arise, standing together in honor of Selastina and supporting the pursuit of justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is to support my sister, Tina, our family, Santiago and the children as we navigate the emotional, financial, and legal aftermath of this tragedy. But it is also for something deeply important:
</div>
<div>To fund a beautiful, dignified funeral and memorial service that honors Selastina’s life, her legacy, her spirit, and the love she poured into her children and family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to give her the farewell she deserves, one rooted in love, community, and gratitude for her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Additionally, we are working to provide comfort and stability for her children as they face the unimaginable. Just days after losing his mother, her oldest son turned 13. The children are grieving, frightened, and trying to understand a world that changed overnight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Christmas approaching, we are doing everything we can to create a holiday that honors their mother, protects their hearts, and prevents the holidays from becoming a source of trauma in the years ahead. Our goal is to wrap these babies in love and help them feel held, by us, by community, and by the memory of their mom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will directly support: 
</div>
<ul>
<li>Funeral and memorial costs, honoring Selastina with the dignity and love she deserves. A celebration of life that reflects who she was and the lives she touched. 
</li>
<li>Immediate support for the children’s needs, both emotional and practical. 
</li>
<li>The family’s ability to navigate legal proceedings connected to the case. 
</li>
<li>Creating a gentle, meaningful Christmas for the children, offering them comfort and stability in this heartbreaking season.
</li>
<li><br />
</li>
</ul>
<div>If you are able to donate, our family will be deeply grateful. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us move forward one step at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can’t donate, your prayers, your love, and your willingness to share this fundraiser are equally powerful. Sharing helps us reach more people who may want to help lighten this devastating load.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are trying to make sense of the senseless, to hold these children through unimaginable grief, and to honor a beautiful life taken far too soon. Your support is a lifeline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for loving her with us. Thank you for helping us honor Selastina’s legacy. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>NOTE: We are also creating a website, JusticeForSelastina.com, where you will soon be able to find updates on court dates, memorial/funeral dates, vigils, and other important information. The site is currently under construction.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Family of Selastina
